Thoroughly enjoyable love story set at an Italian resort by Lake Como in 1937.

Beautiful scenery and a bewitching Vanessa Redgrave make this a lovely viewing experience, Uma is out of her depth here.

Super Reviewer

this movie could have been amazing. it has the plotline and the actors. but it was horrible, especially because I was expecting a lot from it. very badly filmed.
